Our new museum seasonal and I are going to have fun with this. #bonewars #fossilfriday 🦖🧪

I have the privilege of getting a routine colonoscopy next week for my #crohns so here’s a pile of #triassic coprolites from Petrified Forest. #fossilfriday #splashdown 🧪🦖

Excited to celebrate Salinas Pueblo Missions NM and their remarkable synapsid fossil tomorrow! Meet me at 11 at the Manzano Mountain Art Council for a talk on your cousins, the synapsids! #fossilfriday 🦖🧪

The Chinle Formation - come for the climbing ripples, stay for the reptile footprints. #FossilFriday #triassicpark 🧪🦖

Can I offer you a nice Desmatosuchus fragment in these trying times? #fossilfriday #triassicpark #alwayssunny 🦖🧪

Gutted to lose a friend and colleague, Dr. Hans Sues. I spent the afternoon in one of his happy places- The Triassic. 🍻 Trias über alles.

I wish I could repost from that other site.

Gumby’s skull was collected in 2008 and is on exhibit at PEFO’s Rainbow Forest Museum.

Met with a local landowner this week to organize & outline a manuscript describing the INCREDIBLE variation of Triassic reptile teeth she has been collecting and curating from her property, will be accessioned at @NMMNHS. Check out those compound denticles! #fossilfriday 🦖🧪
